Visions Of Peace

"Yesterday...all my troubles seemed so far away...now it looks as though they're here to stay..."
-The Beatles


Oh how I believe in yesterday...The sun was so young to me. Everything was so simple, not a care in the world. I knew of no problems. The world was mine. No fighting, no love, no hate. Childhood dreams are a utopia. The world was what we made it. Our minds were strong. Our minds were uneducated, and it's true that ignorance is bliss. But people inevitably grow up and become educated. Very few keep these childhood dreams. I have not given up mine. The innocence of the world to me, how I wished that it would be like that forever. Years later, I've heard so many horrible things about this world. Instead of being like others' and accepting the world and simply surviving, I want to do something. I have not forgotten the feeling of innocence and dream. But like us all, I have forgotten true happiness. Everyone in this world will know true happiness when they make peace, and live the dream they dreamt. 
The world is yours, dream on.


Yesterday - The Beatles


Dream a dream for me.

We are all here together. We are all part of the universe, part of Earth, part of a community. It is our responsibility to look out for each other, to provide for each other, to respect and listen to one another. We are not here to rob, kill, rape and hate each other. Life evolves. Whether you believe in the Theory of Evolution or not, you have to realize that life changes, and you have to be ready for it. We have to work together and be as one in order to successfully live. We have so many wonderful ideas to explore, and so many complex characteristics of life, why should we waste time killing each other? Benefit others, and benefit from others. We have perfect examples here on Earth. Organisms of all sorts - work together, they have their own role in life, and they are successful. Are they always peaceful? No. They have to eat. Life has determined a chain of who's who and who's eating who on this planet. But they are only fighting for survival. Humans are fighting for NOTHING. Humans fight to feel better than each other, over money, land, possessions...nothing worthwhile at all.
Come together, share ideas, be as one, be as all.

This is our example: Work together and you will be successful!




Thanks to my bio teacher Ms. Rubin who showed our class this video!


COME TOGETHER, RIGHT NOW.

I pray for boredom. Once a being finds meaning and responsibility in life, one will never go a moment without contributing to inner and collective success.


Seriously, I can't remember the last time I was able to just sit down and do NOTHING. Either I always have HW, am in school, doing a project, reading for school, studying for an exam, working, cleaning, anything that keeps me busy.
It's like a twist on Aldous Huxley's  quote "People intoxicate themselves with work so they won't see how they really are. "
Life gets in the way of living. All those responsibilities, are all part of life. Life intoxicates us with work so we can't discover who we really are. Those who make time to discover themselves are the successful ones who win the game of life. Once I made time to discover myself, I realized I have a responsibility as a citizen of the universe. We all do. Ever since then, a moment when I'm not intoxicated by what life throws in my way, I am learning about myself, the universe, or what I am interested in. Life gives you education, but living gives you wisdom. Balance the two out and you've got yourself a perfect being. 


Now go make time for yourself, because without yourself, you've got nothing.


Peace :)

"Before I sink into the big sleep, I want to hear...the scream of the butterfly"
-Jim Morrison, (The Doors - When The Music's Over)

This is one of the most interesting statements I've ever heard. I don't think anyone can understand what Jim Morrison really meant - because he's Jim Morrison. He is the definition of the unknown. His mind was wild and lives on today through his music. The way I interpret that - "Before you die, experience the unknown". Has anyone ever heard a butterfly scream? I don't think so. It has a symbolic meaning, several. Everyone can put their own definitions to use, because you define your own universe. Experience it all. Hear the scream of the butterfly, go out into the forest, and find the troubled butterfly who is screaming for you. Close your eyes, listen deep, and you will find it.

"Philosophy is a game with objectives and no rules. Mathematics is a game with
rules and no objectives."

Everyone should have a goal set for their life. Whether it be a career, family, or state of mind, everyone should have direction in their life. Society works together, everyone needs to work together with meaning in order to be successful. Do you have an objective? Why are YOU here? I am here to make a difference. My game has no rules, expand the reign of knowledge to no limit.

I hope everyone is going to the AIDS walk tomorrow! Check out a previous post for more info!

"I think; therefore I am" -Rene Descartes


I was just assigned to study Rene Descartes in history class, and I find it very fascinating. He was a french philosopher during the Renaissance. This quote is his most famous. His theory "I think; therefore I am" is mind-blowing. What does your presence on Earth mean? If you are thinking, you are existing. Exist with a purpose.
